Of my collection, this one still stands out as one of the absolute best of all the Musketeer movies. Filmed in 1973, Three Musketeers: the Queen's Diamonds is still just as fresh and funny as it was back then. This version is also by far the...
Pros: Wonderful fight choreography, great costumes, outstanding cast. Still the best version of the book around. Cons: The hairstyles look a bit dated, but it's still good.
When I started to collect DVDs, I had a handy little list that I would prowel the shops with, eagerly awaiting my favorites to finally make it onto disk. At last, this classic did so. First released in the seventies, it gathered together one of the most...
Pros: Cast, costumes, sets, score, humour, action Cons: Too many characters, Some bad casting, ending, uneven tone
Although I’m a fan of the 1948 and 1993 versions of Dumas’ tale, the immensely popular, opulent Richard Lester version from the 70s has its merits, too. In fact, I’d probably be even more enthusiastic about it, if it weren’t so overrated. Yeah, it’s ...
Pros: Great cast- good fight sequences Cons: Somewhat uneven in tone
Okay, there were only three Musketeers (at least for now), but there are eleven of us in this Musketeer Write-Off that teskue has organized. My thanks to her for inviting me to join this group. Please check out the list at the end of my review.

Pros: High spirits. Gentle good humor. Lavish production design. Cons: Occasional slow moments.
I am exceedingly upset. My mascara has been running all morning making me look like a coati mundi after a three day binge. I have been replaced. The democrats have replaced me as their candidate for county animal control officer with some man with no...
Pros: humor, cast, costumes, sets, direction Cons: plotty, too many central characters
There have been many film versions of the Alexander Dumas classic, but Richard Lester may have directed the best one. A great looking movie, the costumes, sets and cinematography are also backed up with an excellent cast, a solid script, and some good...
Pros: Fine acting, beautiful, great story, superb fights Cons: historical, movie
Alexandre Dumas' (pere) stories of D'Artagnan, Aramis, Porthos, and Athos have been classics in print for generations. This movie (and the companion The Four Musketeers) do a good job of bringing these wonderful characters to the screen.
Pros: Direction, mix of comedy and action, great cast. Cons: switching the story in two it loses a bit of plot's unity.
Pretty adaptation of Alexandre Dumas's classic cloak and dagger novel from the Salkind producers and director Richard Lester. The action was in France 1500's. It’s the history of the gascon D’Artagnan (Michael York) that becomes musketeer taking the ...
Pros: Action. Adventure. Comedy. Intrigue. A little sex and a great script. Cons: There are no cons.
Every Hollywood attempt to remake this film since Lester's classic has been an exercise in futility; it just doesn't get any better than this '70s definition. Maybe one reason is that with very few exceptions, Lester stuck to the original source...
Pros: Excellent period piece; costumes are exquisite Cons: Seeing on the little screen takes away from the visual effects
The Three Musketeers is a good old fashioned swashbuckler fit for all ages. Richard Lester's version is true to form as well as being visually pleasing.
The film takes place in France. The focus of the plot is centralized on a lustful...
